Vulnerability discussion

Both SharePoint and Office365 configurations are shared in one setting. Disabling this setting removes the user's ability to use both SharePoint and Office365 cloud features and functions. If the user is allowed to store files on public cloud services, there is a risk of data compromise.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
